About the Book
The concept of synthesis spans a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from chemistry and biology to the intricate realms of sound and music. While it's widely recognized in the creation of chemical compounds and electronic sounds, synthesis is also pivotal in fields like biology (e.g., protein synthesis) and physics.
This book, "Realtime Audio with Modern C++," concentrates on Sound Synthesis. It is pertinent to note that while synthesis manifests in various forms, including Texture, Video, Color, and Speech synthesizers, our exploration will be exclusively tuned towards sound, particularly in a real-time context.
Synthesis, as defined by the Cambridge Dictionary, is "the act of combining different ideas or things to make a whole that is new and different from the items considered separately.” In the sphere of sound, this concept takes an intriguing turn — it involves the art of manipulating existing sounds or generating new ones electronically or mechanically. Here, synthesis is not just a process; it's an artful science, intertwining musical creativity with expertise in mathematics, physics, and even biology.
Our journey through this book delves into the rich history and varied techniques of sound synthesis, encompassing the evolution from its nascent stages to contemporary methods like subtractive, additive, FM (Frequency Modulation), and granular synthesis. But there's a unique twist — we focus on real-time audio processing using Modern C++. This angle is particularly significant in today’s digital world where responsiveness and immediacy in audio production are paramount. Real-time audio processing allows for instant manipulation and generation of sounds, a crucial aspect in live performances, interactive applications, and modern music production.
The integration of Modern C++ in this realm brings forward an exciting synergy. This programming language, known for its efficiency and versatility, is particularly adept at handling the complexities and demands of real-time audio synthesis. We will explore how Modern C++ can be leveraged to create sophisticated audio synthesis algorithms that not only push the boundaries of creativity but also meet the high demands of real-time processing.
In essence, this book is not just about understanding sound synthesis as a technical concept; it's about mastering the art of bringing sounds to life, instantly and interactively, using the power of Modern C++.
